What is TRT? A Complete Guide to Testosterone Replacement Therapy

What is TRT? Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medical treatment that restores testosterone levels in men with low testosterone. Testosterone is the key male hormone that supports energy, strength, muscle mass, sexual health, and mental clarity.

When levels drop too low, men may experience fatigue, weight gain, low sex drive, irritability, and difficulty focusing. TRT treatment helps bring testosterone back into the healthy range—not to boost it beyond normal, but to restore balance so men feel like themselves again.

Symptoms of Low Testosterone

Constant tiredness or low motivation
Loss of muscle and strength
Belly fat gain
Decreased sex drive or erectile issues
Mood swings or depression
Poor concentration

If these sound familiar, lab testing is the first step to find out if testosterone replacement is right for you.

"When testosterone levels return to normal, men often describe it as getting their life back."

— Dr. Michael Grant, Men’s Health Specialist

How TRT Treatment Works

There are several ways to take testosterone therapy:

Injections: Testosterone cypionate or enanthate, usually given weekly or every other week.
Gels or creams: Applied daily to the skin.
Patches: Worn on the skin for steady release.
Pellets: Inserted under the skin, lasting several months.

At CostPlusTRT, we focus on TRT injections because they’re consistent, affordable, and easy to manage from home.

Benefits of Testosterone Replacement

Men on TRT often notice:

More energy and motivation
Better mood and mental focus
Increased muscle strength
Lower body fat
Improved sexual function and libido

These results build gradually, but most men see clear changes in the first few months.

Safety and Risks

TRT is generally safe when monitored, but it isn’t risk-free. Side effects may include acne, higher red blood cell counts, fluid retention, or changes in fertility. Regular lab work and provider oversight are key. TRT is not recommended for men with prostate cancer or certain other health conditions.

Cost of TRT

Most clinics charge $200–$300 per month, even though testosterone itself can cost less than $100. At CostPlusTRT, our model is simple and transparent—affordable testosterone therapy with no inflated monthly fees.

Final Thoughts

If you’re tired, unmotivated, or not feeling like yourself, low testosterone could be the cause. TRT offers a safe, effective way to restore balance and improve quality of life under proper care.
